She also said she had reported the issue to the gardaí and he was now living with a relative.

She added he had damaged doors and threatened her life and that of his father. She said he had thrown her husband to the ground.

The woman said: “All my doors are broken.”

She added that the son imagines that he can make a wild cat sit and that foxes will do what he tells them.

"His brain is fried with drugs,” she said.

Judge Desmond Zaidan commented that drugs are “a living devil in Irish society” and individuals and families are the victims. The son was not present or represented.

Granting an interim protection order, he said this is to be served on the son by the gardaí.
